The Western Cape Municipal health officials are looking to have a working relationship with traditional healers in Cape Town.

Officials said the role of these health practitioners has to be recognised as they are the first point of contact for many South African communities.

The City`s Mayco member for health Lungiswa James on Tuesday met with about 50 traditional healers.

They met to encourage a working relationship between the two parties.

James said they will have a lot of talks concerning the basis of their relationship with the traditional healers.

James further said clinics need to work closely with the traditional healers.
